Keoghs' practice is built on a solid base of personal injury work; however its commercial litigation team has also been involved in significant coverage disputes over the past year. These have included Patrick v Royal London, a dispute in the Court of Appeal concerning the interpretation of an exclusion clause. The firm's property claims practice also fields a no-win no-fee subrogated recoveries unit. The primarily Bolton based team is "astute and constructive" reported sources. Commercial litigator Jonathan Lowe was noted by peers for his role in the firm's more complex insurance litigation work.
